Project requirements for network design:
Business requirements:
 Globexcrop wants to have a high performance network that is required for detailed
and in-depth analysis and these analysis needs to be done on data that is collected from
various sensors which are an important aspect for business of Globexcrop as these
sensors are required for implementing precision firming to which Globexcrop wants to
have competitive advantage in the market. As Globexcrop deals and wants to excel in
precision firming, it is not only required for them to analysis data with enhanced
accuracy.
 Not only that, data also needs to be captured from various sensors and once data is
collected from different sensors it is then need to be shared across different
departments that are located in various region. Hence Globexcrop who wants to design
an efficient infrastructure which ensures simple yet effective measures that helps to
share data, while integrating automation to data analysis.
 Automation to data that is an important aspect for Globexcrop is required to deal with
real time data analysis. This is required for providing context to access real-time
positions and alerts that is required for managing mixed Farm Equipment fleets. These
mixed Farm Equipment fleets are developed using a Fleet Manager solution. It is also
required for Globexcrop to reduce cost in fuel consumption and enhancing operator
performance. Hence this makes it necessary for Globexcrop to have option for real-
time data analysis and along with that it is also required to have facility to
communicate data in real time and the network designed in this context should support
this business requirement as this requirements are important for Globexcrop.

Functional requirements:
Deployment of mesh based network design has some functional requirements as
specified by Globexcrop:
 Ample storage for storing data related to firming sensor
 System associated with the network design should be able to store and process data in
real time while ensuring data accuracy
 System associated with the network should provide context to file sharing seamlessly
with superior speed
 Database should be accessible any time and from any location. It is not enough to
provide access only to the employees, but there should be facility that ensures
extension of this access to the end users which includes farmers as well.
 Sensors that are implemented on filed needs to send data wirelessly and needs to be
stored in central database of the company. This data needs to be shared to other
departments specializes in different aspects of precision firming over internet.
 Once data is shared across different platform in different location, intelligence should
be derived from the analysed data which is then need to be shared with different firms
to assist farmers in taking different decision as per requirement.
 Information that is gathered through data analysis should be available to end users
every time and hence the central database should be consistent no matter what is the
traffic of data access.
